I completely disagree. My dad has some of the old SNL's on dvd and I don't find them funny. The women who were on until recently (Tina Fey, Amy P, Kristin Wig, Maya Roudolf) were the best. No one tops Tina or Kristin.

SNL was at its best during its first few years, though it's still funny now. Of course, the episodes aren't quite as funny watching them now, since a lot of the humor was topical. But there are still some classic bits from back then.
